New Work. It’s almost as if my life isn’t just all about Design Star. Almost. The Pendleton Catalogue finally dropped and I was supes excited to get it in the mail. So much work i’ve done lately either is not going to be published til next summer or is not stuff I really want… Read More …
Last night’s Design Star was interesting, to say the least. friends were over. wine spritzers were being made. let the designing begin. Where to start. oh yeah, hello, where it always starts: Jazz. I chose the Tuba because I thought visually the tuba is big, bold, metallic, and its sound is very distinctive – super… Read More …
oh. boy. oh. boy. i get so excited I haven’t watched it yet, waiting for friends. but i’m on the twitter party and i’m psyched. I, however, don’t know how to join the twitter party, do you guys? do I just put #designstar in the body of the tweet? I love the behind the scenes… Read More …
Episode 3. Tonight. 10pm (or 7pm depending). I’m psyched about tonight. Here’s a teaser – we take it outside, and I get intimate with a tuba. This was a super fun challenge, and if you do the math (which I normally don’t) you’ll find that yes, we are down to 4 girls, six boys so… Read More …
Quick question: Do you guys want more design star posts or not? I don’t want to alienate/bore non-watchers (anymore than they already are), but the comments/emails explode when its about design star and are kinda ‘wah wah’ about the rest of the stuff. What if i did 3 DS posts a week and 3 regular?… Read More …
Digging these dark walls with crazy pops-o-color. Orange/red ladder? ish do think so. Borderline garish, but i like most everything individually. You know that somebody really ‘wacky’ lives here – like Jonathan Adler, Patricia Field or Carrot Top. and they wear bow-ties, with suspenders. and shorts. and I bet they have a… Read More …
Alright, this was much harder than I thought. Not to beat a dead donkey, but murals are kinda hard to do right. That being said I don’t want to discount them completely because when they are right they can be beautiful. The problem is most of the time its when they are old…. Read More …
I just wrote the longest post and then safari shut down. Awesome. Perhaps its because it could tell that i’m weak, that i’m a weakling. OKAY! episode 2. Not my prettiest, emotionally. So I’ll walk you through it quickly to get to the good stuff. The challenge is fashion to room, we all know… Read More …
ALRIGHT!Episode numbero dos is tonight. I know what happens, but at the same time I have no idea what we’ll see. First of all, its boys versus girls and we never got to see each others spaces, so it will be fun to see what the guys did. Secondly, it was a 2 day challenge,… Read More …
Check out these beauties. I want to hug and tickle them I love them so much. They are vintage 60’s or 70’s capiz shell and brass handmade shades that I bought from Bernadette Breau in Portland. I got both for $60 and I didn’t know what I was going to do with them but… Read More …
Dios Mio, I do love these images. It’s from an old Elle Decor and I think it was featuring a bunch of outdoor furniture/accessories, but I love the way that it is styled and shot. For a product roundup story I think that they took a lot of risks that paid off. That… Read More …
Super quick. I just figured out how to make it so anyone (not just blogger members) can comment. I didn’t realize that many of you couldn’t. Feel free to comment away. I do prefer nice comments rather than mean comments. In case there is confusion, an example of a nice comment is: “You look so… Read More …
Ok! So i had a very busy day yesterday following the Design Star Premiere sunday night. I started the day with a lot of not-drawing and not-sketching, followed by hours of staring. I mean, I am very adept at staring, can do it all day long if necessary – just watch me, wait…that’s right,… Read More …

Super appreciated.it was a rough… Read More …
huh, look at the sunday blogpost won’t you? – weird. You’re not supposed to blog on a sunday, its an unspoken blogging rule (aka, so few people reads blogs on the weekend so it is kindof wasted effort.) I mean WHO in their right mind blogs on the weekend? Risk takers. that’s who. i’m bringing… Read More …
